republic pay

[skypine69]

Does republic get paid block or better or just scheduled block?
thanks

 

[erikgigem]

Block or better unless its a deadhead (75% block).

 

[relief tube]

only the really horrible companies to work for don't get paid block or better

I heard Republic doesn't get cancellation pay though.

True, unless the company meets the 98.5% completion factor for the month.

Also the really horrible company's are the ones that don't pay you for cancelled flights. Wouldn't want to be flying anywhere in the Midwest during the winter if I worked for Republic.

Only the really shi^^y regionals don't get paid time and a half for working holidays...oh wait thats all of them..The good regionals get revenue tix to get to work.. maybe I'm on the wrong forum?

What do you consider SWA?

That's misleading as well. You only get your original line guarantee for the month if cancellations cause you to drop below that.

So if you work really hard during bad weather and go over your guarantee, one Cx'ed day could whip that out???????

Correct. And the chances of even being above 98.5% on the completion factor are slim to none when cancellations start occuring due to bad weather throughout the system.

So for example, if you were awarded an 80 hr line for the month you will only recieve 80 hrs of pay if cancellations cause you to drop below 80 hrs of actual flying. If you're scheduled to fly 8 hours of flying one day of a trip and the whole days gets cancelled you lose those 8 hours of pay unless it drops you below 80 hours which was your awarded guarantee for the month. That's only if the company completes 98.5% of it's flights system wide (Republic, Chautauqua, Shuttle America). Otherwise, If cancellations drop you down to 70 hours of block for the month that's what you get payed.

In 2 years at RAH I had at least 10 flights cancelled due to WX or maintenance. That's quite a large chunk of change. Those cancellation rules apply for both weather and maintenance.

I've been here through april and had two canceled. No real biggie though. I fly mach .6 most the time so I usually get it back.

If your whole month cancels you still get your min of 75hrs. Not 70.
